Nearly six minutes of the stuff! As you might expect, it shows dudes being shot with pistols and assault rifles, but there’s a bit hallucinating on drugs, too, which is slightly less common in these sorts of videos. It’s clearly using a lot of the Far Cry 2 tech, as you’d expect, and I don’t think it’ll actually fall too far from that tree. It’s 360 footage, by the way. Obviously.
Whoa, trippy.

Sorry I thought you were a mad man for a bit, then I played a youtube video of that model being fired and they are very different. The one in the video sounds like some one who has a semi-automatic type writer.
18/02/2012 at 16:28 lurkalisk says:
Shooters just about NEVER have even vaguely realistic sounding weapons. Developers usually just mix and match stock sounds until it’s not terrible. It’s not a huge deal, but it gets weird when ubisoft makes anything.
18/02/2012 at 16:42 Teknorat says:
Yeah this is the worst AK sound I have ever heard in a game.
18/02/2012 at 16:43 westyfield says:
So what’s the best AK sound in a game?
18/02/2012 at 17:16 Antsy says:
Yes, its a far cry from the real thing.
Sorry.
18/02/2012 at 18:01 kikito says:
Also, Kalashnikovs do much more damage than that. The player gets hit by at least 10 bullets and he keeps going on.
I was hit by two kalashnikov bullets this morning on my way to work and I couldn’t walk again for minutes! I lost the bus and everything! There is NO WAY a kalashnikov does so little damage.
Unless those tatoos are not tatoos, but some kind of advanced body armor made of carbon or some shit. Probably that will be explained in the game.
18/02/2012 at 18:53 Keirley says:
@kikito
I think they probably just turned on invincibility mode for this trailer. Dude gets shot a bunch of times, but I don’t think he took any damage.
18/02/2012 at 18:59 IDtenT says:
The damage is worrying. That guy took like 50 bullets. Only negative thing I can say straight away. Apart from that I actually liked the Africa setting with the sun and fires that actually look real from the previous game. And of course that gun sounds bad yup, eww.
18/02/2012 at 20:24 Strangr says:
I think I’ve heard this AK sound in every ubi game since Raven Shield.
I can ignore crappy gunfire, but there’d better be an option to turn off the wubwub.
And the threat indicators.
18/02/2012 at 23:44 MadMatty says:
Farcry 2 was a total bullet sponge game- seems this is gonna be more of the same. i did like Farcry 1, but the gunplay was so dissapointing in 2.
19/02/2012 at 04:01 jjujubird says:
That’s one thing I really like about Deus Ex and to a lesser degree HR (there was the -15/30/45% damage taken perk, after all), if you played on the hardest setting you could only take 1 maybe 2 bullets and you were done for. A game better be really hard and have bullets covering the sky to justify being able to take 5-10+ bullets.
19/02/2012 at 08:47 Roshin says:
Yes, the bad guys soak up bullets like crazy. He should just use the knife instead, because knives appearantly causes instant death on contact.
19/02/2012 at 09:09 SuperNashwanPower says:
Of all the people saying it doesn’t sound like a Kalashnikov, how many have played the Splinter Cell game where Sam Fisher says (paraphrased) “I’ve had enough AK’s fired at me to know that THAT wasn’t one”?
I have a suspicion that ol stealthy gravelly voice has planted a brainworm in some of you, and even now, KALASHNIKOV AUDIO FIDELITY is of major importance :)

This is a good thing.

Not at all. Far Cry was hard as nuts. There was no running about like a loon like that. It was all quicksave, dead, quickload, dead, repeat.
18/02/2012 at 17:08 LennyLeonardo says:
I’m guessing this is on a low difficulty for demo purposes. Otehrwise, it does look a lot like Far Cry, which is my personal favourite FPS ever. I’m pleased.
I just hope there’s plenty of crawling around in bushes and feeling like you’re in that bit from the beginning of Predator.

I’m really hoping they don’t go all Red Faction: Armageddon on this game.
18/02/2012 at 17:55 abigbat says:
Bear in mind this is a gameplay demo released by publishers to show off the game in order to appeal to the widest demographic – it’s a planned experience, hence why it feels linear, the character doesn’t die and so on. You’re not going to get a good feel for the actual pacing and scope until more folk get their hands on it. This is how modern PR works, don’t be put off by it.
18/02/2012 at 18:49 callmecheez says:
Disagree – it looks like generic FPS made by someone who once saw some screenshots of the original Far Cry. Has everyone forgotten how damn hard that game was? One had to tread slowly and carefully, trying different routes. . it was. . better than this.
18/02/2012 at 21:15 Werthead says:
“Not at all. Far Cry was hard as nuts. There was no running about like a loon like that. It was all quicksave, dead, quickload, dead, repeat.”
Yup, apart from the fact the game didn’t have a quicksave. Its checkpoints weren’t too bad though.
18/02/2012 at 22:14 lurkalisk says:
@Werthead
It was still all about trial and error though.
@callmecheez
You don’t know what this is. As stated repeatedly before, this is Ubi’s PR at work, little of the game’s actual style is likely being conveyed here.
19/02/2012 at 22:25 yourgrandma says:
Far cry was about stalking around in the bushes using stealth to take out enemies because taking them on like this in the trailer would be suicide. The original far cry was also ruined by a later patch that made the AI be able to see through walls and have super vision but there is a little know fan made patch (FCAM) that finally fixed that issue. FC2 didn’t even accommodated stealth AI and i’m guessing FC3 will have the same crappy call of duty type AI. Also that fov is really really bad.
18/02/2012 at 15:36 N says:
Me likey.
18/02/2012 at 15:38 Jimbo says:
Needs a more obnoxious HUD.
18/02/2012 at 19:17 Mistabashi says:
Indeed, sad to see they’ve abandoned one of the things that made FC2 stand-out in favour of an on-screen minimap and pointless weapon icons.
18/02/2012 at 15:38 Jackablade says:
It’s certainly pretty, but it’s looking rather more linear and scripted than a Farcry game should be. Might just be chaining together a few less free sections for the sake of the trailer, but even so there feels like a bit too much focus on being all cinematic and stuff.
18/02/2012 at 15:50 Wobsey says:
Yeah, looks like they’re going the super duper scripted scene route this time around. Along with the seemingly large amount of indoor combat (on a boat, muthafucka!), I’m not too enthusiastic about where this is headed. I rate it “meh+” for now.
18/02/2012 at 17:12 Ringwraith says:
Well, what part of a game do you demo if not the scripted sequences?
It’s how demonstrations work.
18/02/2012 at 21:58 Tyrone Slothrop. says:
Actually from a Gamespot interview with the developers they said the game allows for stealth in a way never fully realised in prior Far Cry games, and how it fits with scripted sequences is that one could be completely silent before opening that door in the ship with explosives.
I think the game looks to be an incredible shooter and finally realises what Far Cry should’ve been, an open-world emergent shooter in an exotic environment with at last, a compelling story and no fucking mutants.
19/02/2012 at 18:59 MisterT says:
“Actually from a Gamespot interview with the developers they said the game allows for stealth in a way never fully realised in prior Far Cry games, and how it fits with scripted sequences is that one could be completely silent before opening that door in the ship with explosives.”
It’s always easier to do “stealth” when you reduce what the player could be doing. see that “stealth” level in COD4, which was actually just “do what we say or die/kill all the guys around”
Thus, FC3 is trading in openess for action/stealth.
19/02/2012 at 22:29 grundus says:
I don’t see why openness has to come at the expense of stealth and/or action, Far Cry 2 had plenty of action and was fairly open. I say ‘fairly’ because while it was open, there were usually only two or three ways in and out of an area where missions were… In fact that game, to me, in retrospect, felt quite a lot like Rage, but I liked Rage and I liked Far Cry 2, except for the glitches, the slow as balls vehicles, the dodgy stealth and the voice acting. I remembered thinking that if I waited until night, used all silenced weapons (the dart rifle being my favourite weapon) and all the rest of it I could sneak around like a sneaky sneaky snake, but it didn’t really ever work out that way as I was spotted a mile off, so I was disappointed with that aspect of the game.
Stealth in open world games isn’t necessarily impossible, though, but stealth will always be easier in a linear setting just because it’s easier to hide from an enemy patrolling a corridor than it is to hide from an enemy patrolling a field. I think if we’re able to hide in plain sight (like in MGS3), though, there’s no reason why you can’t have stealth and openness.
I’d love it if Far Cry 3 was FC2 but with fewer glitches, proper stealth, a little more openness and longer draw distances; I never really got the point of the AS50 (for example) in FC2 when the distances you could shoot people at were, I dunno, maybe 100 metres? It’s been a long time since I last played, but I’d love some Arma II/BF3 style super long range sniping opportunities. It’s something that’s missing in basically every big free roaming game, but it’s so satisfying when you pull it off. The game would also have to have realistic ballistic physics for that, though, and I could imagine the standard Call of Duty-friendly hitscan being used in this.
I am rambling.
18/02/2012 at 15:40 Paul says:
Console footage,urgh.Bad framerate, horribad shadows, huge HUD.
However, game looks great. I really hope they will not screw up PC version and will not use horribad DRM. Because I do want to buy it, if it is as good as I hope.
18/02/2012 at 15:47 CaspianRoach says:
Gamepad footage is painful to watch.
18/02/2012 at 19:57 Droopy The Dog says:
The gamepad’s the least of the causes of pain here, the hyperactive playstyle where they run around like a headless chicken to make it appear more fast paced is certainly a poor choice.
Running out of cover just after you start reloading and face first at two enemies? Check
Shooting a guy once so he stumbles, running past and pretending he’s dead while he shoots you in the back? Check
And that’s within the first minute, the list goes on.
19/02/2012 at 04:17 jjujubird says:
Yeah the guy behind the controls is pretty terrible. He runs into the middle of crossfire without looking around to locate enemies at least 5 times, among other things. But this doesn’t mean that the game will be bad, just that it’s a poorly made demo trailer.
19/02/2012 at 11:18 John Brindle says:
I don’t understand. Isn’t it cool that you can leave guys alive and keep going? Isn’t it okay that the player’s a bit incompetent? Isn’t it fun when either a game or one’s playstyle prioritises flow and forward momentum over obsessively hoovering up every health pack and executing every human being in the level? And isn’t it abundantly clear that you could play at a slow pace if you wished…i.e. if you weren’t trying to show off as much of the game as possible in a video?
19/02/2012 at 11:49 Droopy The Dog says:
Except you almost certainly can’t play like he did in the trailer in the real game, they’ve either got godmode on or the lowest difficulty setting to cover up the way he’s playing against the game’s mechanics. I mean, why shoot a guy half-dead and then ignore him? That’s the worst of both worlds, either ignore him completely and dedicate your efforts elsewhere, or finish him off.
I’m all for a shooter that lets you pull off a frenzied blitz of gunfighting with some flair and win. But I get the sense that if they have to enable godmode to make it even look like that for a trailer, then it’s not actually a viable playstyle at all.
‘Course, he could just be terrible or something.
19/02/2012 at 16:30 John Brindle says:
I’ve been playing a lot of Uncharted 2 lately, and it’s very much a game where you can make a lot of mistakes and as long as you stay on the button you can keep going in a marvelous flow. While it’s often criticised for being one massive quick time event, I’d say that’s unjust, especially when it comes to the combat (which allows for a nice bit of flanking and being flanked). Far Cry seems to very much resemble that, where you have a lot of options and not much drastic fallout from any of them. I don’t see what’s so implausible about the footage; assuming there’s regenerating health (let’s face it, there will be) the player only gets grazed by some bullets and manages to recover quickly. As for why you’d shoot a guy and then leave him alone, I think it looks pretty clear-cut: the player shoots him, THINKS he’s dead, realises too late that he’s not but prefers to press forward at a sprint because the real objective is the radio mast.
I guess I’m confused by the negative reactions to this game. It doesn’t look like it’ll be hyper-scripted, nor that it’ll be terribly lame. It simply looks like a sped-up, consolized version of the original game set in a ‘bubble’ structure where vaguely free-roaming ‘situations’ are bracketed by scripted and QTE’d gateways. While I’m a big fan of slow pace and heavy consequences, that is no bad thing to my mind. I’m always up for a game which offers me a dozen options and allows me to switch easily from one to the other my choice goes wrong.

I like how when the doctor snuck up on the guy, he didn’t grab the player and point something deadly at him while they had a drawn out, tense conversation about how he needs to trust him and he needs his help and blah blah blah.
Also, the shotgun looked well modeled. Good sound effects, good effect on the baddies.
I approve.

18/02/2012 at 18:50 Mist says:
I certainly hope that stuff can be turned off in some way. This modern trend of “follow the arrow” is just disturbing. Is it a case of console gamers just having poor spatial awareness? Or.. low FOV makes it harder to mentally visualize the entire space? Or many console gaming setups having poor sound (e.g. only in-build speakers in the TV) making it harder to localize enemies by ear? Or developers just dumbing everything down so that a person buying their first FPS can instantly play rambo?

18/02/2012 at 15:55 MaxBlackthorn says:
Are you certain this is 360 footage? Because fuck me if it is. Huge jump from the E3 demo and suspiciously stable. Reckon this is PC with a gamepad, set to a “best case” 360 level of visuals.
Also, I’m very much a fan of the aesthetics. Focus seems to be on looking good, a little stylised, rather than realistic – the latter being a pointless, short-sighted endeavour.

It looks agreeably bonkers, but I hope it has the same option as it’s prequel to slowly stalk round an enemy encampment and plan out an attack.
And the fire mechanics. Those MADE (in capitals, no less) Far Cry 2 for me. Even the wee flare gun was a revelation when you worked out how to set brush on fire at the appropriate area.
EDIT; oh, and boo to the minimap. I want the big map bound to a button back.
18/02/2012 at 16:20 DaftPunk says:

18/02/2012 at 16:23 Brun says:
Just because it’s set on a tropical island doesn’t mean FC3 is going to be like FC1.
18/02/2012 at 16:25 Vandelay says:
@DaftPunk – Quite. Although I would say it seems to be mixing in some Far Cry 2, but with more structured mission areas. Also, the first section looked quite open.
As the missions in Far Cry 2 were mostly very dull and repetitive, that seems like a good balance to have.
@Brun – He is talking about how linear or not the game is. Nothing to do with the setting.
18/02/2012 at 16:32 Jimbo says:
Yeah definitely get the feeling that they’re going back closer to Far Cry 1 in structure (and setting, obv). I personally don’t consider either of those to be good things.
18/02/2012 at 17:01 DrGonzo says:
I’ll say it again. This doesn’t look like Far Cry 1 other than the setting. And I’ll put a bet on there being no invisible insta death monsters roaming about.
18/02/2012 at 18:02 Jimbo says:
Oh, you’re saying it twice? You’re definitely right then.
18/02/2012 at 16:22 Moni says:

18/02/2012 at 16:28 Persus-9 says:
I liked the Doctor, I liked the landscape, I liked the tripping but the combat looked very meh. The combat looks far too high energy rather than highly tension to me. It could just be somebody running and gunning to make it look more exciting for a trailer though. I just hope the combat it isn’t scripted and it lets me snipe my way through most of it like the first two.
18/02/2012 at 16:33 The_invalid says:
Nah, this looks pretty boss. Certainly looking a lot more fun than Crysis ever did.
18/02/2012 at 16:37 roryok says:
definitely. For a second there I thought the mushrooms in the cave were giving him special powers, a la Far Cry instincts. or y’know, Mario.
18/02/2012 at 17:02 DrGonzo says:
Crysis maintained the Far Cry style combat though. You were presented with a little action bubble, a bunch of tools and allowed to do your own thing.
This is clicking on heads and pressing E on things you are meant to press E on.
18/02/2012 at 17:41 Vandelay says:
It would be awesome if he gained the power to kill enemies by jumping on their heads.
The tripping sequence did seem a little unusual to include in a trailer and I imagine it is where most of the complaints about this looking linear is coming from. I would say the opening section was more representative of the actual missions in the game, which seemed to be relatively open.
18/02/2012 at 16:41 Joshua says:
I kinda like the main character.
After all those silent protagonists or people who are fully confident in their abilites, having someone who shouts “shit” when things are going to be bad and moans his concern about the amount of enemies is a neat change. Ya know – A human.

I understand why they would remove the bad bits from Farcry 2 such as the endlessly respawning enemies, but why would they remove the good bits like the full body awareness and focus on immersion?
The thing that really impressed me about Farcry 2 was the complete lack of HUD and the way they handled you having an actual body. Seems to have been gimped here in favour of an intrusive hud, press x to interact, a minimap and enemy direction indicators. What the hell?

Looks like they just ripped the maps out of Far Cry1 into the FC2 engine this will fail on PC just get Crytek back using the Cry Engine 3 DX11 ONLY. Otherwise Ubisoft do not even bother releasing this on PC its a waste of your time/money.
Console shovelware because they are at the end of the cycle & no-one CBA to make a new game engine is the usual holding pattern the gaming industry goes into now for another 2 years or so…….
19/02/2012 at 02:57 Urthman says:
On the contrary. All the best games come at the end of a console cycle when game companies have developed all the tools and can just make games with them.

I was hoping for some at least semi-realistic approach, and this felt so arcadey. Gunning down number of people sufficient to populate small town, in a three minutes sightseeing trip, c’mon?
At that rate, after 15 minutes you would be on a desert island, unless: respawn in 9,8,7…

I’m liking the combat scenarios, since they remind me of the first game’s environs, but disliking the threat indicators and wub-wub.

*Main character leaps, runs, climbs and rappels all over a ship while taking 50 bullets before leaping into water and swimming away, then getting in a car and driving off.*
“Shit, I’m hurt!” Really, guy? I thought you were awfully spry for someone with 4 pounds of fresh lead in ‘em.
Gotta say those npc animations and voice actor are top notch though, that loopy doctor is is one of the most fascinating characters I’ve seen in a video game in a long time.

That guy has an A++ military training… No mere civilian can grab a knife stealthily from an enemy, kill said enemy silently and then throw the knife at another enemy for an instant kill.
I don’t mean to be nitpicky, but that kind of stuff takes some time to master… :P

No choice making scene. Bad sign, they may take the shortcut by cutting out the sandbox style.
Without sandbox style gameplay Far Cry is nothing.

The game is sandbox they are just showing off a scripted mission because it makes for a more exiting demo than wandering around in the jungle and sneaking around people.

they have said that there will be a wide variety of missions and you are free to wander around the islands exploring if you want. They also had a video where they showed them taking on a mission in several different ways a few months ago.

what is this arcade game doing on my pc

The PC platform is good for all kinds of games

Looks like it will be well done. Shame if it has UBIs always on DRM.
Oh and to all those posting that this looks like an arcade game.
LOL! In the past pretty much ALL games were in arcades.
Seriously some people here need to realise games are made for youngsters or those young at heart.
Please realise, moaning because the game looks like it will have appeal to those viewers with ADD is something that should be directed at the publishers & funders not the devs who make what they are instructed to do.

I have to say, this Doctor Ernhardt is my favourite kind of psychotic. A long time since we’ve had a mental person who isn’t a complete hyperactive murderbasket.

With the voice-in-your-head, linear storyline and oversaturated colors, this look more like Far Cry 1 than Far Cry 2.. Too bad, i loved FC2.
Hopefully they’ll take the best out of them both.
That means no instant-respawning enemies, and no mutants or superthough supersoldiers towards the end.

They wanted to show off the PC version but couldn’t get it to work because of the DRM.

I am yet to be convinced I will buy this game.
One comment: they’ve made the +444XP!!! less intrusive but I still wish it or XP in general were not present with this game.

“This video contains content from Ubisoft, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”
So, free advertising and you shut it down? Fail Ubi, fail. Or was it that everyone was saying it looked crap that made you shut it down?

Not sure why people are saying this looks like crap. Seems like a good romp to me.

Looks bad. Really bad.
Gameplay is stupid. 0% immersive. I never got suspension of disbelief.
I hate the Far Cry 1 poor vegetation coloring. They did far batter in FC2. Why the involution?
It looks like a mindless “pretend to fire at all”, and bullets don’t count.
I will not buy that.
